    A Arakaki Store @53-4142 Akoni Pule Highway. Located between Pololu Valley and Hawi town. A general store, it has basically everything you need. We went in there right before the store was closing on 07/04/14. We got a bottle of water, tasted like plastic...

    Amazing service, delicious poke. Kind workers and just an…read moreoverall great Hawaii store Go there if you are in the area

    Service was great! People are so friendly and welcoming. The reason for the low stars was the poke…read more We have been here more than a handful of times because we visit this island often. We arrived early after maybe 10am. That means like should be fresh, right? The gentleman serving poke was wonderful! Very kind and easy to talk to. He was very patient waiting for us to make a decision. Once, we were ready to check out, only self check-out was available. This was fine. No big deal. We also purchased fried vinegar chicken wings (which was really good). They've made portions smaller but it's ok. Still worth the money. Now, for the poke itself. It was not good. I couldn't figure out why and husband said it did not seem fresh. That's it. The texture or flavor was not what it usually is. It was ok but they have served better. I have been craving this poke for weeks too. It was so bad that I just didn't feel like stopping by another day. Maybe, next time we visit, the poke will be fresh. Keep in mind, this is one of the only grocery stores around this area so be prepared for some very high prices on water and snacks. Convenient items needed are very pricey as well. Excellent customer service will make up for all those things though. I'm sure I will be back. Oh, and I cannot forget my butter mochi. Another craving I get in Hawaii. I will wait to hit the grocery stores for this and it never disappoints.

No tomato sauce, no soup, NOTHING. Fresh tomatoes marked $5 a pound (almost nothing else has prices shown) but when we bought them we were charged $5.50/lb even after mentioning the sign. Lots of people coming in: they could sell stuff if they had stuff. Very strange.

We got the chef special Lava Lava Roll & a ham sandwich...both items were made to order so they're super fresh. The hoagie roll was soft on the inside and chewy on the outside with lots of ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato...perfectly seasoned with mustard and mayonnaise. The Lava Lava Roll was a spicy tuna roll with avocado and spicy poke on top along with fried onion and green onion. Service felt a bit disjointed, but I was on Hawaiian time so it's all good in the end. The shelves looked a bit sparse, but the store was clean, organized, and had everything I needed. I also found some interesting photos from Warren Fintz, a Hawaii photographer and videographer. We were able to come back and finally got to taste the "famous" macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies and they're as delicious as everyone said. I hope you're lucky enough to try them.
